VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

VIRUS ALERT - W32/ProLin@MM

Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber:

W32/ProLin@MM is an Internet worm that spreads via email. McAfee AVERT has given it a risk assessment of MEDIUM TO HIGH-RISK. The email comes with an attachment named CREATIVE.EXE, which carries the icon of a Shockwave Media Player application.
You may receive the email in this format:

Subject = A great Shockwave flash movie
Body = Check out this new flash movie that I downloaded just now ... It's Great
Bye
Attachment = creative.exe
If you run CREATIVE.EXE, it finds and alters all .JPG and .ZIP files on your system and forwards a copy of itself to everyone in your email address book.
Please do not run the attachment.
Click here for detection and removal instructions.

McAfee.com Clinic Subscribers: If you don't have ActiveShield installed and/or updated, you are not protected from this worm. Click here to download ActiveShield.
